Gotta love how cp24 is headlining this police shooting and how it’s outside elementary school. As they zoom in 50x to see the actual scene down the street from the school. They’re not wrong by wording it this way, but they’re also using what happened in Texas as some more context. When we are usually used to seeing “(Xyz) shot in (location)” and nothing more

Edit:Lmao they did it “shot just a few dozen feet from this school” proceeds to zoom in with a high power lens

Edit 2: one of the witnesses said the gunman had a “machine gun looking thing”. Wow I guess that dude found a way to import one from the 1970s!
